(I'm pleased to receive replies from folk I've been reading and learning from these past months! Perhaps this thread could become a good reference for other newbies like me wanting to fly online with skins.)
I accept not using skins with swastikas in online MP out of respect for the laws of those countries that find it necessary to prevent their display. I just find it a bit of an immersion-killer in offline SP to NOT see them as I learn CloD well-enough to try my hand online.

That is all I really want to do - add that one historical marking as I fly offline. For that I'd be quite satisfied with just having the versions of the default skins Cheesehawk describes above, if I could find a place from which to download them.
But if I did use those or other historically-correct skins, would I have to swap them out of their respective documents/1csoftclub/paint schemes/ "plane type" folders prior to joining an MP server, both to avoid a VAC ban and to prevent stutters for myself and my fellow onliners?
Or does the MP server software require me to opt-in or otherwise limit itself to only "approved" skins?
(My only experience with skins is ROF, the only other sim I've ever flown.)
